It's been a while!

Hi Everyone out there in FTE land. It's been a while since I had the chance and time to visit this forum. I see there are lots of new faces and the usual crowd. The 53 has been a blast driving it around to various shows. Australian Street Rodding did a cover story on the 53 and I was tickle pink that they considered it for their magazine. Here's a photo of the 53 at a All Ford Day.

Aussie,

Yes indeed, you sir have put together one fine truck!

I guess we all figured that since you got your truck done you've been busy putting miles on it. Congrats on the magazine article, its well deserved.

Good to hear from you
Bobby

Nice looking truck. Maybe you could reverse the photo to get that steering wheel on the correct side?

That is a great looking truck. The paint color and stance work together amazingly well. It has a great overall look. Nice going.

Goodluck Tom

Thanks guys for the your comments on the 53. I am very happy with the end result and now having fun with it. Looking at taking it on longer trips in the new year to see how the 53 goes. Two and a half hours is the maxium I've done so far with out any problems. Keep you all posted with anymore exciting news. Cheers Aussie 53 (Paul)
